A security guard hailed as a 'superhero' for fending off a racist thug who trashed a Tesco Express was later sacked on the spot and charged with assault - after a bystander complained about his use of force.
Wayne Price, 40, was cleared in just 30 minutes after CCTV showed he acted in self-defence - but Worcester BID, who had employed him to tackle crime in the city centre, refused to give him his job back.
He now works at a crazy golf course to support his family.
CCTV and bodycam footage confirmed Price had acted lawfully as he shoved career criminal Peter Swinbourne - who had previously hurled racist abuse at staff and thrown wet floor signs inside the shop.
The incident unfolded in September last year, when staff at the Tesco Express on Foregate Street radioed for help dealing with a drunk man trying to barge his way into the shop.
